“Mental disarmament?”

March 24, 2007

The military has been criticized for lapses in discipline but the problem is even more serious than people think. Last month, a KF-16 fighter crashed and the cause was poor maintenance. We can

“(2nd LD) Air Force chief resigns amid criticism over jet crash, golf outing”

2007/03/21 14:06 KST

SEOUL, March 21 (Yonhap) — South Korea’s top Air Force officer has tendered his resignation to take responsibility for last month’s fighter jet crash caused by poor maintenance, officials said Wednesday.

The plane [KF-16] went down off the country’s west coast during a training flight on Feb. 13, but its pilot survived by ejecting.

The Air Force’s discipline has been called into question after investigators found that the accident was attributable to poor maintenance. South Korea’s latest F-15K fighter jet to crash was also discovered to have had its wing damaged last month when its rear wheels fell into a manhole at an Air Force base in Daegu.

The ROCAF F-5E/F is named Zhong Zheng, after the late ROC President Jiang Zhong Zheng.
As the current ROC government, under President Chen, has been removing references to China, the KMT (Chinese Nationalist Party), and the ROC from the names of ROC government and non-government organisations and sites, such as the KMT memorial hall and ROC post office, by changing “Zhong Hua XXX” to “Taiwan XXX”; some politicians suggest the ROCAF F-5E/F nickname should be dropped.
